Anyone who misses the Campus Lounge of yesteryear, the one from three owners — and just a few years — ago, should go back now to check out its latest iteration.

Campus Lounge is back in business in Bonnie Brae and pouring Coors Banquets, showing sports over 12 big-screen TVs and cooking up dishes like T-bone steaks, cheesy tots and bottomless salad bowls.

The owners of Recess Beer Garden are the latest to take over the spot. Before them, two other sets of restaurateurs tried to reimagine the space made iconic by longtime owner and former All-American University of Denver hockey player Jim Wiste.

And this latest crew has certainly made a mark on the bar with the addition of some camp decor, including two window displays dedicated to Wes Anderson films. You’ll also find a pool table and arcade games, TVs everywhere and, of course, the $12 salad bar.
